Princes Park

Overview

Picnics and barbecues in the park are an age-old way to pass the time when the weather is fine. There's just something that makes you feel footloose and fancy-free when you're surrounded by nature, some of your favourite people and piles and piles of food. With barbecue facilities, walking paths, playground equipment for the kids and even a sculpture ('Within Three Worlds'), Princes Park in Carlton North is a great option for the next time you want to fire up the grill and spend a few hours sinking beers in the sun. Assign someone to salad duty, make sure that the person on the tools actually knows how to barbecue and bob's your uncles (maybe he can cook?). And don't forget to pack a frisbee for some post-feed fun. Your doggo is also welcome here, too, and there are off-leash areas within the park to take them to so they don't miss out on the running around fun.
